Student Enrollment/Registration

Thank you for your interest in Orono Schools!  

Enrolling your child(ren) in one of Minnesota‘s finest school districts is simple.

After an Address Verification Form is completed and residency is verified, you will be directed to the appropriate schools for enrollment packets.

In order to complete your child’s enrollment, you will be required to provide the following documents:

• Birth certificate or passport (a copy will be made)
• Immunization record – State law requires that all parents or guardians of students in Kindergarten through 12th grade provide written proof of their child’s immunization against the following diseases:
  • • DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis a.k.a. whooping cough)
    • Polio, Varicella (chicken pox)
    • MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
    • HBV (Hepatitis B)

  Children will not be allowed to attend school until a record of the month, day and year of each of the required immunizations have been provided. Families that object to immunizations must provide a notarized declination form. The website, www.health.state.mn.us/immunize, lists all required immunization information. Questions regarding immunizations can also be directed to the district nurse at 952-449-8317.

• All children in the state of Minnesota are required to complete an Early Childhood Screening prior to kindergarten enrollment. Early Childhood Screening is a free check of your child’s development including hearing, vision, communication skills, motor skills and social-emotional development. Documentation of an Early Childhood Screening, completed by our district or a different district,  is required. For more information about Early Childhood Screening, please visit our website: https://orono.k12.mn.us/el/our-programs/early-childhood-screening. Please direct any questions to: ecscreening@orono.k12.mn.us or call us at (952) 746-5815. To schedule an early childhood screening visit: https://oronoearlychildhoodscreening.youcanbook.me.

• A copy of transcript or grades from previous schools and test results if available. If not available, please have the name and address of the last school attended so we can request records.
